Somewhere Under the City

This is the first song I performed for the Winterfest 2007 Talent Show. I decided to put new words to an old classic.

Song: Somewhere
Performed by: Ginger
Filked? Yes.
Original Song: Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Original Song Performed by: Judy Garland, among so many others

Original Lyrics: Filked Lyrics:
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There’s a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can’t I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can’t I?

 Somewhere under the city, far below
There’s a world that I heard of once, through a tv show
Somewhere under the city, candles glow
In a series of tunnels where I long to go

Sometimes I read some fanfic and
I close my eyes and feel friends right beside me
The tapping on the pipes I hear
The poetry that makes it clear
That there’s a place for me…

Somewhere under the city, dreams don’t die
Dreams fly under the city
Just look into the sky.

Sometimes I read some fanfic and
I close my eyes and feel friends right beside me
The tapping on the pipes I hear
The poetry that makes it clear
That there’s a place for me…

Somewhere under the city, dreams don’t die
Dreams fly under the city
Just look into the sky.

If one can find a home below
Under the city,
Then I want to go.
